  Possible faulty fuel pump

  Pump is intank, underneath the rear seat base

  Replace the sender seal and hose clamps upon replacement

  Another possibility is a exhaust cam sensor, which can be checked when checking the DME fault memory.

  Please have the car diagnosed by a mechanic, which can be found in the "find a shop" tab
